• Perils on the Borderlands~Day 50 Return to the Keep

    Note ~ I have decided to try something a little different. In the Collected Pits & Perils rulebook there is a variant for hit points. In this session of my game I have converted all the PCs to the variant hit points rules. It reduces the hit point total by approximately 50% for most classes,… Continue reading

  • Ant Wand

    Cornwall the Odd brushed the last remnants of the honey cake from his robe. “It is always a pleasant treat to visit you, Zultan.” “Perhaps if you had let me know of your visit, I would have set a larger table,” the small wizard said without a hint of sarcasm. They sat outside of the… Continue reading

    Our Roll20 game continued last night with the inclusion of a new player, Rik.

    Doug over at the Smoldering Wizard blog has been running an Odnd campaign for our group of Fatbeards on Roll20. I recently added a page on this site as a player journal.

  • Day 50 at the Keep

    Arden and Company walk through the Keep gates by midmorning. The sky is cloudy but no rain. The company is greeted by the guards and residents. The site of a cloak wrapped body astride one of the horses causes all to pause. Guards stand at attention and merchants doff their caps. Sir Kent meets with… Continue reading

  • Midfall, 3rd Week (Day 49)

    Arden set to the grisly task of sawing the chieftain’s head off. The hobgoblin had many features of smaller goblins he had encounter, but much larger. The brute was taller and heavier than Arden and certainly stronger. Sgt. Tenning and his men were reliving the moment they pincushioned the hobgoblin leader. Arden thanked the soldiers… Continue reading

  • Day 48 Hobgoblins!

  • Fairies and Prophecy, Day 47 of Perils on the Borderland

    It was early morning the 3rd week of midfall when Arden and Company rode across the heavy oaken planks of the drawbridge. Martin watched the treeline in the distance. A red-tailed hawk took wing from the nearby field, a mouse clutched tightly in its claws. The weather was colder than yesterday and the wind had… Continue reading

In reading through his blog, I am impressed with his insightful postings and his knowledge of the game. Almost every weekend he has run Roll20 games for our group of fatbeards. He… Continue reading
